They are aiming too big, even trying to replicate EPEL for themselves. And their attitude isn't good. They had a tweet disparaging "new unstable vendors" of EL distros that they only deleted after being called out for it, despite being one of those themselves. Deleted tweet link: https://twitter.com/NavyLinux/status/1408429562472677381 They used to say they were founded by "Unixlab". Which Unixlab? We don't know. Now they say they are a non-profit Foundation that founded the project. https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:kZLBFcdLyrYJ:https://navylinux.org/about/+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us
